"Legs" to support sides of monitor

Unseul · 11 May 2019 at 16:51

So I've got the AOC 32" IPS monitor, and the stand allows for a fair bit of wobble (standing desk has a bit of movement, monitor exaggerates it). So I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for something like this? I was thinking some support legs that go under the edges of the monitor?

Could you get a desk mount to reduce the wobble from the stand?

Not sure how that would help? That would just increase the height, and therefore the initial wobble, to be further exaggerated by the monitor stand?

A mount will replace the wobbly stand.

Ah, yeah, sorry, brain was in sit/stand desk mode, and I thought you meant an additional shelf type thing for the monitor to go on top of.

Problem is, it's a non vesa mount. So even with an adapter, it'd still be connected by a small area in the middle I guess (unless you can get them that grip around the edges of the monitor?).

Non-vesa could be a problem. What monitor is it?

Get some Lego bricks and make a couple of supports for the left and right corners

I may actually do that. Time to raid the boys supply. What do we reckon, minecraft chicken on the right, millenium falcon on the left (well, not all of it, that things massive).

3d print something

might even be a ready-made solution on Thingiverse.

edit: I assume you mean something like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1156739
